Rejected petition John Berkow to resign as Speaker and for creation of a code of conduct in House.

The actions of MP's in the House are unacceptable. Prime Minister's Question time is being used as a forum for jeering and childish taunts by many Conservative MP's and they are abusing the the roles and responsibility they have been given.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

A decision to resign is for an individual to take, not the responsibility of the Government or the House of Commons as a whole.

The House of Commons already has a Code of Conduct:

If you would like this Code to be changed, to include new rules about behaviour in the Chamber, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what new rules you would like to be added.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
